No More!

"Phew. That sure took more time I thought. I even exhausted the reserves of mana I had stored completely," a distant voice said. "That thing takes too much mana."

'Hmm?'

"Tsk. Where am I going to find more sources of mana again? Ah, I do have that one mission remaining. What was it again? The Belvion Union. It's pretty far from here though. I'd probably be dragged back to the Premium Age Royale's venue while on my way there."

What was this?

Someone was mumbling to themselves.

'This voice. It's familiar. What's... what's going on?'

"Whatever. I won't be using the Precept for the Royale anyway."

'Is this...?'

His eyes were closed.

Right. He just had to open them.

And he did.

The sting of sunlight to his eyeballs made him grunt as he quickly blocked it with his hand.

"Ah, you're finally awake. Hmmm. That line sounds familiar."
